An astronaut in a magic moon machine agrees to take a child with her on her journey, but the child has so much baggage that the machine will not fly.

Quick Summary

A space-faring adventure with a hilarious problem, this story proves that even magical moon machines have weight limits. Kids will crack up at the ridiculous pile of luggage the child brings along and cheer when the astronaut finds a clever solution. If your kid loves silly picture books like "Scaredy Squirrel," they'll adore this cosmic comedy. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders, this 466-word gem is ideal for early readers who want humor with their science fiction.
